The Best of Bar None

Each year, Bar None presents hilarious skits, songs and dance numbers for our audiences. Our current featured video is Homeward Bound, from Bar None XXII. To see more videos from past shows, visit the Bar None YouTube Page.

For more information on Bar None, please see the About Bar None page.
Bar None is an annual musical variety show sponsored by the Dallas Bar Association and supported by local attorneys and law firms.

Bar None raises funds for the Dallas Bar Foundations' support of the Sarah T. Hughes Diversity Scholarships at the Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law. To date over $1,300,000 has been awarded to the Hughes Scholarship fund.

We've finished our 25th season of Bar None, and by all accounts Alice in BarNoneLand:  25 Years Through the Looking Glass was a terrific success! Presented June 16, 17, 18 and 19 at the Greer Garson Theatre on the SMU Campus we took a historical look back at Bar Nones of old, highlighting a song or skit from each of the past 24 shows, with titles like  "Ronco Legal Services,” "The Day the Merger Died," "Slick Willie," "At EnRonRon," and many more. 

Donations this year were also strong, with our net fundraising expected to be a record amount.  If you would like to donate to Bar None but didn't have time before the show, it's not too late! Please visit the Bar None Page at the Dallas Bar Foundation, and fill in the amount of money you'd like to donate.

We hope you enjoyed the show, and that we see you again next year for Bar None 26 - see you next June!
